Hair-Cloth Loom
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page dictionary entry describing the loom used to weave hair-cloth, with a black linen warp and a weft of single horse hairs. It explains the long hooked shuttle or rod, the spring catch that holds the hair, and how the weaver and an assistant child insert each hair through the shed. It also notes dressing the warp with paste and hot-calendering the finished cloth, and includes a line drawing (Fig. 225) of the loom showing the batten, nippers, treadles and cams.
